What the 17 is wrong with people?

And seriously. If just a few of cro-magnons who say stuff like that on social media got arrested and prosecuted, a lot of it would go away. If some one made a joke about blowing up a building, the FBI, CIA, and DHS would be at there front door with enough ammo to kill them 1000 times over. Make social media comments about raping a woman and it's "aw shucks... what can we do about it ya know?

I hate people. Glad to hear that one guy lost his job over the matter.

Saw that yesterday, and hell yeah, good for him. People tend to forget when they're commenting on the Internet that that's someone's daughter they're talking about. Glad to see a few of them are seeing some consequences.

Idiots and twitter is the most dangerous combination on the planet today. And that's not hyperbole. If Iran possessed Fat Man or Little Boy I swear it wouldn't be more detrimental to society than twitter and the scumbags who use it in our world.

People who do this stuff are cowards. They hide behind the anonymity of the internet to act like ********. The vast majority of them wouldn't have the balls to say this kind of stuff to a persons face.

I have two grown daughters and I can assure you that those 17'ers would have pissed their pants when someone walked up to them at work or school and said "There's a man here to see you and he says he has that baseball bat you ordered".

People think they can be anonymous on the Internet and say the basest and cruelest things imaginable because they are hiding behind their keyboard. But, as Curt Schilling proved, nothing on the Internet is anonymous anymore. The things that are put online stay there forever, and it is extremely easy to find out who said it. Schilling said it took him 15 minutes or less to find out almost everybody who tweeted the vulgar things at his daughter. He knew their names, school, family, jobs, etc. The sooner these idiots learn that, the sooner that a lot of this will stop.
